Ann Arbor, MI — A 9-megapixel sensor significantly upgrades the Aven zipScope, a compact hand-held microscope for capturing high-resolution images and video. The new model also gains a built-in, adjustable polarizer to reduce glare from reflective surfaces. Both features expand the zipScope's suitability for assembly quality control, such as checking metal parts and production samples, and other magnified inspection applications.

Magnification can be adjusted from 10x to 50x. Eight white LED lights have two intensity settings.
